Thanks y'all fior the compliments. It turned out better than I expected with my lack of woodworking tools,I took three years of woodshop in highschool and seems some of it stuck.

Wish I would have had a router though,I could have really prettied up the backsplash and them corners real nicely. The stain is "gunstock" colored,it caught my eye when I was browsing the colors (gee wonder why?!). It went on almost reddish and dried darker than I thought a typical gunstock would be but it seemed to be true to color on the top panel of the tabletop which is real dense hardwood and was sanded thoroughly
